SCOOP - OPTSICOM

Rafa Martí and Anna Martínez-Gavara coordinate the research project entitled Supply Chain Optimization (SCOOP)
This is a joint project with Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC) and includes 20 researchers. In this project we develop algorithms, based on metaheuristic methods,
which integrated in a software, solve hard optimization problems. It is funded by the Spanish Goverment with the code PID2021-125709OB (2022-2024).
The collaboration between our group and the URJC team (GRAFO) started in 2006 when Profs. Martí and Duarte published a paper
in the European Journal of Operational Research. Since then, both teams have published together almost 50 JCR-indexed papers
and 25 book chapters, and their research has been presented in more than 50 international conferences. This collaboration has
received remarkable evaluations on previous joint funded projects, such as: TIN2012-35632,
TIN2015-65460 or PGC2018-095322.
In the OPTSICOM website, codes, instances and best known solutions for the problems in which we are working are available.
